Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities. This is revealed by DEBKAfile.

The message accuses the United States of predetermining its end (doom) by its policies. ?The Jews rule the Pentagon by remote control and (are the cause) of Muslims being killed in every corner of the world. The United States should therefore expect more blows.?

The message is signed on behalf of the al Bayan (The Threat) movement by ?your warrior brother, Abul Hassan al Khadrami?.

Our Muslim expert identifies the name of the signatory as belonging to a Yemeni from Hadhrameuth, the Bin Ladens? place of origin where Osama enjoys substantial tribal support.

DEBKAfile?s counter-terror sources stress that warnings appearing on these forums are taken both very seriously and with caution by the intelligence services keeping track of the terrorist network?s electronic traffic.

Last November, Jeddah-based fundamentalist forums addressed a message to an Al Qaeda member, saying whoever understands ? understands; whoever knows, knows, but we are marching towards an operation that will take us to Paradise. Three days later, the Mombasa Paradise hotel was blown up killing 12 Kenyans and 3 Israelis and a failed shoulder-launched Strela anti-air missile missed an Israeli airliner at Mombasa airport.

I still say the impact and fighting this issue so hard, I have to minimally back the March movement at least

[JustPiper]

he just cared about my vote :(

As is every politician except Tancredo ;) Greg was the lucky one wasn't he?

That link you provided offers a good, brief, overall review of the original Giornale piece and the Debka followup article. Must be a good reason why the American lamestream media ignored it. Too explosive an article or too heavily unsubstantiated and speculative a story line?

[JustPiper]

Or running down your street screaming "Fire" in your poogies ;)

[JustPiper]

I like to entertain all possibilities and I have a need to know; I am that way about everything. I have an unsatiable curiosity and a mind that will not turn off, especially in matters of politics and religion and now, national security.

Now 'you' know why I can't sleep ;) Diha-errea of the brain

Yep. He posted yesterday that he was moving to "safe and secure locations" (plural, hmmmm ?) and that it would take him 48-60 to arrive.

From the post at 09:50 am 8 JAN 04 to forwarded the "clock" to between 10 am and 10 pm on 10 January and being a very significant time frame fro a very sigificant event.

Similtaneous to this is the new Voice of Jihad #8 and the translations done by a resident FR heroine.

I think 2+2=4. Hence, the alert for Saudi Arabia!!!

I think posible Islamic coup d' etat in the Kingdom. Possibly between 10 am and 10 pm Saturday 10 January. Lots of haji's entering the kigdom. Perfect cover for an invading Islamic Jiahdist army to take Saudi Arabia.

Now having said all that, I think they may fail.

btw... I think EOM is a she (foul-mouthed one at that) and is an ethnic Armenian who has been in the process of becoming a more and more radicalized islamist since 9/11 or earlier. The names or internet aliases "Anoush" and/or "Marie" are involved.

[JustPiper]

Ping!

[JustPiper]

Amen

[JustPiper]

I think 2+2=4. Hence, the alert for Saudi Arabia!!!

Sean, no more simultaenous attack here?

[Labyrinthos]

WASHINGTON (AP) National terror alert level to drop one step, to yellow or third-highest, Homeland Security official says

Time to worry. Stay vigilent.

[JustPiper]

Is this a true headline EF? Do you have a link?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Some major cities will probably remain -- as they have for a long time -- on orange.

[OXENinFLA]

I don't get why the level is being lowered.

[eastforker]

No, I made a mistake.After finding that Italion news paper online I noticed they get all their international news off the wire service. If they got it from a wire service others would have picked it up also I believe. The other article with the followup gave a url that the video came from but as the article says it may have been hacked.

[ContemptofCourt]

Apparently Homeland Security is not reading this Y2K-fear-like thread.....

[Sean Osborne Lomax]

Yes, I believe between now and Eid al-Adha there will be a major attack here in the US (and London, England) in all of the cities mentioned in this thread, and then some.

Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan for that matter are part of the overall strategic plan AQ has placed into effect imho.

OBL vowed to break America's back and to cause events which will "change the order of things" in the world.

A massive attack on the US (read WMD attack) and the seizure of Saudi Arabia (and its oil) and Pakistan (with its nuke arsenal) appear to fit these criteria established in the official AQ pronouncements of late and of the past year. It's just that much of it seems to be coming into much clearer focus now.

[Labyrinthos]

NYC has been orange since 09.11 and will remain there. However, from my observations, the current orange is substantially more orange than a few weeks ago.

[OXENinFLA]

As many 'incidents' that have been happening I thought the level would stay up into Feb.

[OXENinFLA]

Although I'm sure states (budget offices) would like to see the threat go down.

[watchwoman]

If you think attacks are still in the works, what do you make of the lowering of the threat level by Homeland Security? Could this be "reverse psy-ops?"...trying to lull the terrorists into thinking our guard is down in order to fish some of them out?
